ORIcial Organ of Webster Comity 8A week or so since wo published tho rumor that Dr. Bard was a silent partner in the Atlanta Daily Snn. The rumor we published on tho authority of the Augusta Sentinel. The Sun denies tho statement, which, of course, is clnaive. In a few weeks Bard will commence the publication of a “draw it mild" Radical journal in Atlanta. Actions for damages, to the amount of $30,000, resulting from the late collision on the South Carolina Rail road, have been commenced against the railroad company by John Mishaw, who lost a child, and was himself injured on that occasion. Wonderful Eoos.—The Editor of the Columbus (Ky.,) Dispatch was lately shown nino eggs each marked on tho larger end with a calearous formation closely resembling the Arabic figuro cor responding with its number in the order which it was laid. The figures running from 1 to 9 inclusive, are of different degrees of perfection, but all are ficiently well formed to be readily dis tinguished os indicating 4lie number ns eribed to it Tho placing of the figures was doubtless the result of the immuta l»lo laws of nature, yet to the finite mind, we must confess, tho strange ! occurrence seems little short of a miracle. The eggs have been duly consigned to the cai their natural owner. The chicks which will bo brought forth, wo suppose, may be said to have been “ counted before they were hatched." BRIEFS. —Brigham Young paid $75 to take his family to the circus tho other day, and only took part of his children at that —In marrying a young white girl to a mulatto, in the presence of n number of “Squelch Hnt. "—Such is the almost universal cry of the Northern press against Bullock—the Radical papers quite ns vehement as the rest. Tho Chicago Times (Dem.) gives him a broadside thus: It is about timo that Bullock wop “squelched, " and Congress .annot bet ter commend itself to honest members of tho Republican party than by putting its heel on this demagogue and knave. He is an object of detestation to all men who respect propriety and honesty in official l office life, and the continuance of him Governor is an outrage. The investigation into his attempt to bribe Senators that he employ< . r others <o make tempt, and this alone should procure his instant dismissal. If Georgia bo a pro visional government, Congress can dis miss him. If the government bo not a provisional one, why is not tho State ad mitted to Congress? Congress is respons ible for Bullock, and stands as the indors er of his scandalous career. Charity.—We see in the Memphis Ap- ]>eaf, of the 21st, nit, an account of a lit tle girl’s charity, that is tho most touch ing and beautiful evidence of kindness we have ever read of. It seems that Mrs. Reid, who thousands will bless, has been traveling through tho country, soliciting aid for the Confederate Or phans’ Home, of Mississippi. She de livered a lecture not long since in Louis ville, and among the attendance was a little girl, JennieS. Marly, thirteen years of age, who was so touched with the tale of suffering, told by Mrs. Reid, that her little heart was almost broken with grief, and she determined to do something for the little orphans. She had only a string of buttons (our little girls call them charm strings), this she determin ed o give, though each button remind ed her of some cherished friend. This string of buttons was hnmedix telv sold, and given again by the purchaser to Mrs. Reid, who has continued to sell it, each time getting it back, till this little string of buttons has brought eight thou sand dollars. God bless little Jennie. dignitaries of a Western town. Judge Garret said: “In tho name of the Great Jehovah, the Continental Congress, and the Fifteenth Amendment, I pronounce you husband and wife.” —Rev. John Jackson, an English cler gyman, has been suspended from his of fice, just because a wench came into the church one day and said, “Child, look at your daddy.” —A Stewrrt county correspondent of the Columbus Sun writes that a terrible hailstorm visited that county on Wednes day last, doing great damage. —A most brutal murder was perpe trated near London, England, on Mon day night, of a family of five persons, consisting of a father, mother, sister-in- law and two children. The murderer has not yet been discovered. —Emery S.

Thomas It. Jones, of Kentucky, has addressed an ojmui letter to Governor Stevenson on the everlasting Bnrbridge scandal, several columns long. From one of tho concluding paragraphs of this genial trifle, wo extract the follow ing solemn farewell of the chivalrous Jones to the Gubernatorial Stevenson: Hence, from Tetter from Macon. Macon, May 24th, 1870. Editor Republican : After drouth, this city was promised to-day a copious shower. The clouds rolled up for a while threatening to pour out luge, but alas! no rain came sufficient to sprinkle the dusty streets. The univer sal cry is for min, and .if tho sincerity of the prayers of all classes is a pledge of success, it cannot bo long before the Father of all mercies, who sendeth the early and tho latter rain, will heed and answer tho petition. Tho writer has recently passed through Schley, Marion, Talbot, Meriwether and Troupe counties, Ga., and some of the Eastern connties of Alabama, and the same drouth is everywhere prevalent. The Oat crop is a failure. Cotton plant ed late is not up. Early cotton anti com aredoing well, and wheat is promising, though a little min would help to All tho grain. Health of the people generally, good. Money scarce and all hands at work to mako cotton enough to buy corn and ba con from the West—if all comes out right. Let us “hope on, hope though tho hope be uot realized. Great preparations are being made here for the approaching meeting of the Knight Templars of York. The Grand Com- mandery of the State has its annual vocation here to-morrow, and a large number of Sir Knights are expected from Savaunak, Atlanta, Americus, Albany &c. There will be a march in the grand regalia of the Order, religions service in the Presbyterian Church, by the Rev. Prelate, Dr. Wills—to bo followed by a grand banquet in the evening. I am not the pictures, quite so high, and can not, therefore, give yon particulars of tho ceremonies usual on sncli occasions. The Macon Press will doubtless report all outside performances. Speaking of the Press, Harry Neville, has bought ont his partners, Ricks and Harrison, and will run the “ Journal”on account. Harrison takes a com fortable offico. at Atlauta, in connexion with tho Supreme Court. Ricks will probably remain ns Foreman of the Jour nal. “Hence, from my memory and sight forever! go thou—shall I say slanderer, liar, coward?—from the presence of hon est men and gentlemen; and if Before this unhappy strife shall end, blood sliall flow, whether I or another may fall, I brand thy brow with tho blackness of Coin; wander up and down in the earth; wear tho mask as long ns thou livest; and when thou dicst tlion shall surely so appear be fore thy God.” We desire to record our dcliltemtecon- iction that in felicity and forco of rhet oric this passage is, on tho whole, the finest thing the discussion has piodnced. Late editors who want to use expressive language would do well to take a lesson two from this master. Disaffection Extending.—Tho Ger mans of Indianapolis has joined those of St. Louis, in tho programme adopted against tho Republican party. In Cin cinnati several associations have taken tho same course. These movements important. The result will be that the largo Radical majorities in those cities will become harmless minorities. Tho strength of the dominant party was large ly made up of tho German element, du ring the last twenty years, but the latter part of this period has opened tho ey< of the “red republicans,” and Biack lb publican ism will collapse terribly. American Israelite Convention.-This body which met in New York on Monday, adjourned sine die on Tuesday evening. The Special Committee, previously up- pointed, to whom was referred the re port of the Executive Committee, sub mitted an extended document at their report. The gist of it was that 8100 in gold be distributed towards the support of the Jewish Hospital at Jerusalem; also that it was to be regretted that the United States were not to be represented in Bonmainia in order to intercede in be half of humanity in favor of the Jews against persecution, and expressing satis faction at the intention of President Grant to appoint shortly an American Consul for Bucharest, who will receive proper instructions on this subject— (Mr. Simon Wolf here stated that Presi dent Grant had told him but a few days ago that Mr. Adolph Bncher, now resi ding at Bucharest, which will shortly re ceive that appointment) The third mat- ter touched in the report was the immi gration oi Jewish refugees from Ruseia, expressing thanks to thoso who have ta ken care of them, and hoping that only such as are capable of severe mnniwi la. bor will hereafter bo sent The Alliance Uniyerselle Israelite, in Paris, and its president, Mr. Cresmieux, wero duly commended; the enactment of Sunday laws declared to bo in opposition to the principle of religious liberty, referring especially to tho making of Good Friday a legal holiday, as in Pennsylvania. The part of the report occasioned some de- ^•“which Mr. Wolf of Washington, and Judge Joachhimesen, of New York t °°*ad PP ted!° gr0nnd ’ but the section An irreverent Athens correspond ent, speaking of the new railroad from that city to Piraeus, says: “Think of Socrates soliloquizing over a steam en gine, Diogenes with his tub dead-heading it to thePrteus, or hagglingaboufcaseven cent ticket; of Eoripedes working up a railroad catastrophe into one of his pol ished tragedies; of the courtly Xeno phon taking topographical notes for his Anabasis from the window of a sleeping car; or of Aldbiades lolling in the smok- ’ r a game of high-low ins car and jade for the cigars Stay of Executions.—We published sometime ago a paragraph stating tliat Gen. Terry had declined to approve the resolution adopted by the Legislature re lative to the stay of executions on a! claims prior to June, 1865. Mr. John L. Ells, of Augusta, has written to General Terry, asking him if sncli was the case, and his letter received the following en dorsement: “Hdqrs. Mil. Dist. of Ga., ) “Atlanta, May 23, 1870. i “Respectfully returned to Mr. Ells. I have not approved and shall not ap prove the resolution referred to. “A. H. Terry, B. M. Gen. C®- The oration of Dr. Wills before the Grand Commandery of Knights Tem plar, will be found on tho outside of to- day’s paper. It is a finished, eloquent and interesting discourse. S©-Dr. John Christian Keener, edi tor of the New Orleans Christian Advocate was chosen by the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Mem phis, as Bishop. He is said to be emi nently qualified to fill the position. B6L. Brick Pomeroy says: There is a movement on foot among consumers of Eggs to buy them only by the pound in stead of tho dozen. The hens, within the last ten years—about tho timo the Radical party came into power—have got to cheating, by laying little bits of eggs. Or do the farmers use the large ones at home ? Tiie Nine Richest Counties in State.—According to the Comptroller- General’s report, there are but nine counties in the State the net amount of whose annual tax paid into the State treasury amounts to 810,000 and over. Th ®y Rre a * follows: ChaUiam, 875,170 «>; Richmond, $44,849 70; Bibb, 827,681; Floyd, 813,893 88; Houston, 813,001 49; Bartow, 811,204 77; Sumter, 810,716 83; Troupe, $10,292 96; Clark, $10,153 88. >Jt wiH thus be seen that in point of wealth Snmter is the seventh county in The Masonic Life Insurance Company has just sent ont a heavy assessment for tho past month. Some twenty deaths re ported, but I understand that the large proportion of these have been delayed, from informality or insufficiency of proof of claim.!, and that now all back statistics have l>een brought up—and the proba bility is tliat for tho future the average mortuary report will not exceed seven or eight per month* I hope so truly, as such heavy assessments monthly as this last will be sure to create forfeitures and loss of confidence. I am enjoying the hospitalities of that model hotel—the Brown House—and must bo allowed to say, that in all the es sentials of comfort, good faro and quiet repose, which should characterize a first class Hotel, none exceed Brown’s, of Ma con. The nousc is much enlarged, and Brown 6c Son, with tho assistance of George C. Brown, nephew of Browu, Sr., and clerk, nre ever prompt and agreeable for the entertainment of their guests.

It seems that the irrepressible Fenian organization has made another on Canada, and that the people of that sadly benighted British dependency least badly scared. Tho first break was on tho morning cf the 25th: The follow ing are the dispatches in relation to the movement: Rochester, May 25.—To-day several carloads of Fenians, ticketed for Malone, passed through here from the West Last night one company of thirty men, under command of Captain O’Neill, left this city. More leave to-day. All is excite ment in Fenian circles. The British steamer Norseman depart ed this morning, fearing capture. Detroit, May 25.—It is reported that two barges, towed by a tag, departed last night. Cincinnati, May 25.—Gen. Starr, Col. Tourney and Major O’Keeffe departed North last night. Oswego, 25th.—A : company of federal artillery, at Fort Ontario, have orders to move immediately. No movements of Fenians are reported *35“ Chemistry is furnishing us new agents for fuel, force, food, and many other important auls over those we once possessed. Ports from which commerce was driven during tho hot months by their terrible fevers aro visited all the year with impunity now. Many localities the South and West kept tenantless by their deleterious miasmas are no' ing up with populations under the pro tection of Ayre’s Aguo Cure.

Wendell Phillips is in favor of Snmner and Revels as tho next Radical Presidential ticket Theodore Tilton prefers Butler and Revels. Revels stock i the rise decidedly. Colfax is clear ont of the Ring. Ho is as little thought i Grant. The Radicals are sick and tired of free late and gift horses. They want something fresh, and Revels is as fresh os a daisy and twice os odorous. New York, 25th.—The evening papers ive specials that General John O’Neill crossed at St. Alban’s, saying he would never recross the lines unless victorious dead. The troops move in two columns, upon St John’s and one in the direc tion of Richmond. The utmost conster nation prevails in Canada, owing to the ntter lack of preparation for resistance. Syracuse, 25th.—Three hundred Fen ians left to-day, three hundred left last midnight, and two hundred in squads departed previously. Oltowa, Canada, 25th.—The .United States have 150 troops on their way to Ogdensburg. 400 Fenians were left be hind at Rome for want of transportation.

Albany, 25tli.—A report lias been ceived here, dated St. Albans at 4 p. i that heavy fighting had been going Franklin since noon, between the forces of Gen. O’Neill and the Canadian militia. Boston, 25th.—Fenian headquarters have advices that the advance guard crossed the border this afternoon and took possession of Pigeon Hill A raid has been made on the Grand Trunk rail road. 30 miles of rails were torn up. 500 Fenians with arms and 100 wagons containing ammunition, passed through Massenna last night. 400 Fenians ar rived at Waterton this morning. 200 Fenians arrived from Rome and got off at Patt’s Dam, evidently old soldiers. The number of Fenians at St. Albans is estimated at 1,800. The Fenian plan is said to be to send out small bodies of cavalry to harass the border at various points, thus distracting attention while the main body will moke a grand attack in an unexpected quarter. Latest dis patches say the Fenians are at Front river, preparing to cross. 3,000 Fenians aro at Pigeon Hill entrenching, and tho G9th British regiment lias gone to attack them, and news has been received that fighting has commenced. It is rumored that O’Neill has been arrested l>y the U. 8. authorities. Gen. Starr, with a large force, has crossed the lines. A great conflagration is raging in Quebec, but the Fenians having cut the wires, particulars cannot be obtained. LATEST. Washington, May 26.—The mass of the Fenian news shows that the capture of O’Neill, whom Marshal Foster seized while the fight was progressing and thrust into a hack on the back seat and carried him off, demoralized the Fe nians. O’Neill was committed in default of $20,000 bail. Unless speedily re-in- forced, the expedition within the vicini ty of St Albans will be a fizzle. Malcne,N.Y., 26ih.—Four regiments of Feniaus have crossed the Front river, and ore now moving on Huntingdon. Col. Cleary commands, and Cols. Smith, McQnode, Thompson and Campbell command regiments. Gen. Spear, of past Fenian notoriety, has arrived at St. Alban’s. Tho Huntingdon expedition has ‘.If formidable aspect. The XIX Century.—The June No. has been received, and we have read its pages with increasing delight We would be glad to give an extended notice of our own opinion bt this excellent maga zine, but prefer publishing the following highly complimentry notice of it, written by one of the best critics in tbe land, and one who never praises a publication unless it is deserving of • it, we mean M. M. (Brick) Pomeroy, Esq. Wo clip tbe following from the columns of the N. Y. Democrat: * * One of the very bett magazines ever published in thd United States is The XIX Century, published at Charleston, S. C., by XIX Century Publishing Com pany, C. E. Chichester, Business Mana ger. There is a life, vigor, boldness, earnestness, elasticity, comprehensibility refreshing. From first to lost the worl is perfect. Its pages contain some of the finest literaro productions of tho age, while its editorials evince a knowledge of men, manners and customs, nations aud the laws of nations, greatly in contrast with many magazine articles purporting to come from the leading statesmen and brilliant minds oftheday. There is to be found in The XIX Century tho usual variety of[light and heavy reading, sketch es, descriptive articles, reminices, argu ments, incidents and editorial mention- ing3—all evincing the highest order of talent, and most excellent taste in make up and presentation. “Tho price of this worthy aud most excellent magazine is three dollars and a half per year—single numbers thirty-five cents. We advise our readers, especially the ladies, to sbuscribe for it if they can afford so to do. If they would see for themselves the beauties find excellences of the work, let them enclose thirty-five cents to the publishers at Charleston, S. “We should not ask peoplo scribe for and help sustain this periodical but fo* its excellence, sterling merit, * teresting matter, and its just claims uj the reading public, no matter whet they bo North or South. Tho enter prise is a deserving one—and confident that it wonld be a welcome visitor receiv ed, we earnestly commend it to the atten tion of our readers and tho pnblic gen erally.” A Timely Prayer. Before tho adjournment of the Alabama Legislature in Montgomery, at its list session, a pious divine, who was in the habit of praying for tho convicts in the penitentiary at Wetnmpka, lrnviug the love of truth and the fear of God before him, was requested by tho Speaker of the House to open the proceedings with rayer, which he did in the following lanner : “ O Lord, we pray Thee that thy mer- ies may be extended to these poor men, ho have been sent here from all parts of.the United States, convicted of various crimes and misdemeanors; have merey upon them, wo beseech Thee, while they are hero serving ont the timo for which they wero sent, aud • when they have served and are dismissed from these walls, may they return to their Northern homes better men. and in time may they become useful and upright citizens aud honorable members of the society from whence they came, wo ask in the name aud through the merits of Christ, our Re deemer. Amen.” Asjsoon as he had closed, old one-arm Richardson, alias Steel Trap, so-called from Wilcox, sprang to his feet, and in a stentorian voice exclaimed, “ Mr. Presi dent, I move to strike out Wilcox county.” unanimously reject- His amendment ed, amid a scene which can be better agiued than described. — Wilcox Vindica- Hon. Jefferson Davis Addresses a Sunday School Celebration.—Ovqy four thousand five hundred children and ten thousand adults attended the Sunday school celebration at Jackson, Tennessee last Tuesday. Tho schools of all the towns in that section were represented.— A letter describing the demonstration, says: “ The Hon. Jefferson Davis was introduced and spoke about ten minutes in an earnest and thrilling manner. His appearance on the stand was hailed by a tremendous burst of applause. Tho Hon. Jacob. Tompeou and tho Right Rev. Bishop Quiutard. were also introduced and made a few pertinent remarks. It was a great day for Jackson, and I pre sume there never was a gathering of the kind of like magnitude. ” B&-A man‘named Weston lias per formed the feat of walking one bundled miles in twenty-two hours, in New York. It was done in twenty-one hours aud forty minutes. A dispatch says: Du ring tho timo he took nine rests, varying from three miuntes to niue minutes and torty seconds. The walking was witness ed by a concourse of abont 4,000 people for an hour or two before the walker reached his last mile. At the conclusion of the exercises, Weston embraced bis friend, Mr. Bruce, one of the sportiug editors of the city, and passionately kissed him. The enthusiasm was great, aud the result of the walk to the walker, was a purse of 81,500. Westou professed to bo but little exhausted at the end of his march, but lie was evidently much physically depressed. A Card. THE T A Y LOR “cotton M ANUFACTURED BY AV. G. CLEMONS, BROWN & CO., Con.

JOHN V. PRICE & SON Warehouse and Commission Jierchnts. New Enoland.—Now Englaud rules the United States pud Boston rules New England. Here is Wendell Phillips’ de scription of Boston : Boston is a city in which every tenth person is n criminal and every seventh a pauper. Three-quarters of our farms are mortgaged for drink, two-tliirds of the pulpits are filled with drunkards, and the bench of justice is nearly vacant because ie-lialf of the judges have died drunk ards. Now, let somebody reform Boston. That is our only hope.

S. District Court, rendered in that city: On Thursday last, petition filed in tlio United States Dis trict Court by Lsham J. Fennel, in oppo sition to the discharge of Thos. S. McCal- ley in bankruptcy, and presenting a claim for 820,000, being a bill of exchange drawn by B. T.
